Bob's Top Five Ways To Lose Weight.

1. Donate blood - "A pint's a pound the world 'round." Simply by donating blood you can lose weight. One pound to be exact. Donate today!
2. Don't eat until congress actually does something constructive. Warning! This could be fatal.
3. Get sick. With all the flu and cold germs flying around, simply catch the flu and you will be losing weight in no time!
4. Dental surgery. I had this done Monday. I didn't eat anything until Tuesday morning and it was just a bowl of oatmeal. Lost three pounds just like that!

By far though the best way to lose weight can be found in the Bible. Open up your Bible to 1st Thessalonians.

^{"16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."} - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

If we are to be caught up together together with Jesus in the air we would have be what? Weightless!!! Ta-da! PLUS . . . when we get to heaven, we actually get totally new bodies. What can be better than that?

"For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands." - 2 Corinthians 5:1

And what do we have to do to get these new bodies? We must call on the name of the Lord. We must repent of our sins, place our faith and trust in Jesus and make Him the Lord of our lives. Pretty simply yet why is it so hard to do?

Losing earthly weight can be a difficult thing to do, but through Jesus Christ we can cast off our earthly burdens, the emotional weight we've been carrying around for-e-ver, and finally have that heavenly body to die for. So die to self today. Only then can we be free of our earthly baggage.
